Chapter 240 Slytherin's Notes
Opening the door and walking in, you came to a laboratory-like place with murals carved on the surrounding walls.
There are all kinds of magical animals recorded on it. The last one is the picture of the basilisk that Feeney just saw.
Of course, this is not the most valuable harvest that Feeney discovered in this space.
In this space, there is another door with a large number of mysterious Wu inscriptions drawn on it. There is a large snake-shaped mark in the center, and there are two stone guards on both sides of the stone door.
The guards on both sides held swords in their hands and crossed them to block the stone gate and seal the way in. As expected, it was the place that Feeney wanted to find.
Home to the treasures of Slytherin's legacy.
However, if you want to enter here, you still need some way to get the two guard statues guarding the stone gate to remove the weapons in their hands.
At this time, Feeney thought of a text engraved on the Slytherin statue in the Chamber of Secrets. Was it engraved on the steps of the Slytherin statue, or was it behind the statue, where it was difficult to find? It was engraved in Niru script. If Feeny didn't have the heritage of Ravenclaw, he might not be able to understand the meaning of those words.
"Salute to the great forerunner-Salazar Slytherin!"
After Feeney read this passage, nothing happened.
There was no vibration, no light, no magic, and no special effects. The guards still guarded the entrance to the stone gate.
Feeney was still a little disappointed with this. He really just had the idea of giving it a try. After all, this paragraph didn't look like a key.
So, did he overlook something in this laboratory-like room?
Feeney once again looked at this room that he had not observed carefully.
Only then did he notice that he had overlooked many things here.
First of all, this room is much brighter than Spark's lair outside. This is because the ceiling of this room is covered with little bits of magic, and it is still useful today.
However, Feeney speculated that this should be some kind of detection magic. When someone steps into this laboratory, these magic lights will start. But even so, the fact that this magic has not failed for thousands of years is enough to prove that it has not failed for thousands of years. Slytherin used to be powerful.
In other words, it is the power of the wizards from thousands of years ago, because the things that Feeney has seen left by the wizards from thousands of years ago are still valid, which is enough to show how far they have gone on the road of magic.
In addition to the magic on the ceiling, under the murals engraved with various angry animals are some desks with some yellowed, wrinkled papers,
In fact, this thing is not considered paper. In the magic world, the concept of paper generally refers to kraft paper, and these papers are made of the leather of some unknown animal.
Feeling the touch of these things in his hands and the vague feeling of uneven scales, Feeney was roughly sure that these were snake skins.
As for the above content, there is no need for Feeney to remember it.
There are some discarded things on it, a few scribbles, some guesses and research that have been proved to be wrong, or magic, or magic circles, or alchemical products.
Or it was just talking to himself like a diary. In short, these things could not bring any clues to Feeney to enter the next room.
Feeney pulled up the dusty chair next to the desk, cleaned it casually, then got on it, and continued to look around, while thinking in his mind whether he had overlooked something.
This laboratory may be because Slytherin deliberately tidied it up before leaving. Even the bookshelves on the wall did not have any books. The entire space was empty.
Of course, it is also possible that this place was cleared by the last person who entered here, that is, the mysterious man Riddle. But considering Myrtle, the possibility is very low.
Then the books, records, and materials that should originally exist here will most likely exist in the next room.
Thinking of this, Feeney sighed in disappointment, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.
His brain was still running at high speed, trying to find a way to enter the next room.
But the more he thought about it, the more he realized how little he knew about the clues to the secret room and the flaws in the information.
Slytherin's inheritance secret room is completely different from the other three founders' secret rooms. Feeney did not find it step by step. It can even be said that he did not even find it. ,
He didn't find any clues pointing to Slytherin's secret room. The reason why he was able to come here was just because he had read the original work and knew that this time next year, Harry would find this place under the guidance of the diary, and then meet with Riddle here. Fight the soul, the mysterious man's first Horcrux, kill the Basilisk, destroy the Horcrux, and obtain Gryffindor's sword.
In other words, if Feeney had not read the original work, then he would not even be able to find this secret room, let alone this laboratory.
Now trying to find new clues and hints in my poor mind about Slytherin is naturally wishful thinking.
So, what Feeney can do now is to search this laboratory a few more times, that's all.
Thinking of this, Feeney opened his eyes and jumped up from the chair, and began to scan the laboratory for the third time. This time it was much more detailed than the previous two.
Because he thought of his experience in Ravenclaw's secret chamber, he even moved the tables, bookshelves and other furniture in the laboratory.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and Feeney discovered a new mural on the wall behind the neat rows of bookshelves.
It is not a specific pattern, but a pattern composed of many S's like small snakes. These S's may be large or small, long or short, some have many bends, some have upward bends, some upwards and some upwards. Down.
It makes people see it inexplicably,
But when Feeney saw these symbols, he somehow knew what they were.
This is a passage, written in Shelao dialect. Although he can't understand it, Feeney knows what it means.
I know the meaning of this passage without any original reason, any reason, or any result.
He subconsciously opened his mouth and spoke in a snake-like accent.
"The miracle of blood and wine, the mystery hidden in blood, the key to the road to godhood, the beginning of everything, the beginning of misfortune in the world, open your arms to me, let me understand you, accept you, Understand you, feel you, and find the path to self-sublimation.”
As the hissing sound stopped, the knives and swords held in the hands of the stone guard statue in front of the stone gate, which were crossed in front of the stone gate, slowly separated.
The statues also suddenly moved, retracting their respective weapons, then thinking about moving to both sides, stretched out their hands to open the stone door, half-knelt on the ground, and saluted Fini, as if to welcome the return of the master.
The room was dark. After Feeney stepped in, the room suddenly lit up.
When he raised his head and saw the same magic on the ceiling as in the laboratory, Feeney was sure that Slytherin had indeed installed a magic here that would automatically open when someone came in.
Under the illumination of the magic lamp, Feeney began to scan the furniture in this room.
This place is completely different from the laboratory outside, more like a warehouse.
It's just that what is stored here is not materials, food, potions, or weapons, but books.
The entire room is filled with bookshelves, and the bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books.
These bookshelves and books make up everything in this room.
Feeney carefully walked to a bookshelf and looked at the books on the shelf carefully.
No wonder he was so careful. Because of Hufflepuff, such an environment with multiple secret rooms made him have to suspect that Slytherin was still alive and guarding this space. After all, Hufflepuff left. When he said it, it was like telling Finny that Slytherin was still alive.
However, in the final analysis, Finny was overthinking it. There was no sign of Slytherin activity here.
The protective magic on many bookshelves has expired due to time, causing the books to turn into a cloud of dust when touched and scattered when the wind blows.
Fortunately, before Feeny touched those books, he paid attention.
Although many of the books are now rare and rarely survive, Feeney got them because of the power of the Black family and the Christmas gifts other families gave him over the years.
What really touched Finny's heart was actually his personal notes left here by Slytherin.
In Feeney's opinion, those might be his heritage.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Perhaps because these things are only single copies, Feeney discovered that the protective magic on the bookshelf where they were placed was arranged in several layers. Although some of them also lost their effect, as long as there are As long as the magic is still effective, these notes will not become a thing of the past and turn into dust due to the passage of time.
Feeney picked up the first book and opened it according to the notes.
It’s not that he doesn’t have the awareness of precautions, it’s that these notes really don’t require precautions.
First of all, notes are not books. There is no possibility that they are a kind of black magic in themselves, and there is no possibility that a magic book can use enough autonomous consciousness.
Secondly, there is no magic in these notes, not even a trace of magic.
Because the compensation given by the disappearance system of the echo system includes the talent of magic vision, which makes his perception and judgment of the traces and breath of magic far better than before when it was still the echo effect, even better than Dumbledore. Be keen,
It is precisely because of this that Feeney can be sure that there is no magic in these notes.
However, after reading the contents of several notes, Feeney was disappointed. The notes recorded in these notes were not some of the research on magic as he had imagined, or some powerful magic records, but ordinary records that were recorded by the Presbyterian Church. their hidden history,
Finny, who was born in the Presbyterian consul family Black, naturally knew part of the truth about these hidden histories. Before adding that, he met Hufflepuff and accepted the inherited memories left by her. Knowing the other part, on the contrary I have a certain understanding of the hidden history. Although it is not very detailed, it is still what I should know. I know everything.
What these notes record is the birth of wizards, or how that part of humanity tried to obtain the power of gods.
The earliest gods in this world were not created by humans, but animals, some magical animals, unicorns, basilisks, tengu, demon cats, phoenixes, fire dragons, giants, etc.
Because they are not the same species, the appearance of these gods has not brought any benefits to mankind. Instead, it has brought many disasters.
In the end, the weak humans came up with a way, a very bloody and disappointing way - sacrifice.
However, this sacrifice was different from the sacrifices recorded today. At that time, people sacrificed young girls. The purpose was not to give food to the gods, but as a tool for fun.
Different species have different body shapes, not to mention the special abilities of the gods of those magical animals. Many girls often die before the sacrifice begins.
After all, the entanglement of the basilisk, the flames of the phoenix, the cruelty of the dragon, and the size of the giant are all beyond the body of an ordinary young girl.
But there are always successful examples.
Those successful girls will be taken back by their respective existences to be raised and raised until they give birth to children.
However, it is certain that the offspring of different species will have difficulty surviving, not to mention that the blood of many creatures represents cruelty, so many girls will die after being selfish.
And those people who exist will select some women from these offspring, give birth to offspring with humans again, and then pass them on from generation to generation, eventually becoming wizards.
Yes, the emergence of wizards is the product of such an extremely inhumane, bloody, and disgusting behavior.
And many of the pure-blood families in the magic world today are actually the descendants of the leader of the village who successfully sacrificed to the gods at that time, because at that time, the man who married the descendant of the god was the leader's child.
Because leaders all want to gain the power of gods, such as the Dumbledore family's ability to summon the phoenix, the Weasley family's powerful white magic talent, and the Black family's huge magic energy reserves. These are actually simplified versions of the power of gods. success.
Slytherin's snark is a representative of divine power.
Behind these historical contents, Slytherin's thoughts on this period of history are recorded, which are also his thoughts on the road to becoming a god.
Hufflepuff told Finny before that the path to becoming a god is actually the path to purifying one's own magical blood.
This is because the concept of gods has belonged to those magical animals from the beginning. Only those with powerful magical blood, that is, the blood of magical animals, can become gods.
Suddenly I found that the title serial number on the 30th was wrong. It should have been 235 but I typed it into 245. Because there is no way to change the title, I apologize here and let everyone make do with it. It doesn’t affect me, but I count the numbers myself. It’s just a little troublesome when it comes to numbering chapters.
